Kuvale Salli Chutney/ Ash Gourd Peel Chutney

We amchigele(Konkani) people cook almost any part of the
vegetable. May it be chutney or upkari. Most commonly used peel is of
Gosale/ridge gourd to make chutney. I have tried only with this vegetable but
always wanted to experiment so I used Ash Gourd/Kuvale peel and tried chutney
and mind me it was lip smacking. This one is similar to Gosale Sheere Chutney
posted in my blog here.

Let’s see what we need to make Kuvale Salli Chutney

Skin of 1 small Ash gourd, wash and peel the skin and chop into small pieces

1 dry red chilly

2 green chilly

½ cup coconut fresh or frozen

5-6 cloves of garlic pods peeled (I used large ones)

A small piece of sour raw mango or a very small piece of tamarind

1 tsp oil

Salt to taste

This is how Kuvale Saali/Ash gourd peel looks like

How to prepare chutney:

Heat a tsp of oil in a cooking vessel, add garlic pods and red chilly and green chillies and stir fry for a few seconds. In the same vessel, add the ash gourd/kuvale peels (chop them into small pieces) and fry on medium heat for 4-5 minutes making sure the peel has cooked. Once cool, grind the garlic-chillies, coconut the rest of the sautéed ingredients along with aw mango pieces and salt and grind to a smooth chutney consistency.

From today do not throw the peels instead make this and tingle your taste buds.

Serve with rice and dal, or kanji or even dosa it just tastes awesome with anything.

Note:

If you do not eat garlic or wish to eat this during Upvaas then replace the garlic and add 1 tsp Cumin Seeds/Jeera and roast it in oil then add remaining ingredients.

Hello all, hope u had a great weekend we to did... infact its the 2nd day of the week for us and we r waiting for the weekend eagerly as its celebration time for us J. Some food pictures attract one so much that you feel like
eating it right away. Same did this picture do to me! I wanted to gulp it right
away but there was no way that I could get it anywhere here or make it the
moment I saw. So I had to wait for a day and made it the very next day. I kept
all the things ready in the morning so that I don’t miss a single thing. But I
had a few doubt’s which Prathibha cleared the very moment I asked her.
Thank U Prathy for the recipe as well as guiding me when I was in a doubt.
It was so yum that I we(even my lil one) could not resist eating it. I
made puri’s also at home as we could have as much as we want and my little one
also was eating them, I wanted to make it at home healthy and fresh.
We finish off the whole batch of puri’s and pani too ;) I know you may think
crazy people but …

I hope you can spare with me and try to read the significance of both the festivals. I have collected it from Many sources like my Mom, Granny and last but not the least Google Aunty.Now for the significane:Tulsi:Tulsi came out of the ocean during Amrita manthan as a younger sister of Lakshmi. She too was devoted to Lord Vishnu and wanted to marry him. But Lakshmi who was already married to him did not like the idea and cursed her to become a plant. Thus the tulsi plant was born. But the all merciful Lord Vishnu took pity and fulfilling her wish declared that when he will be in the form of a saligram she will remain close to him in the form of a tulsi leaf. Therefore even today a saligram will have a tulsi leaf along with it. In front of every GSB home there will be a …

Its just a 4 days for Deepavali… and m sure all are busy preparing sweets and savories for this Deepavali…. I m posting the wishes and a sweet today itself as I may not be able to blog for some time. Deepavali is the festival of Lights. The word 'Deepavali' is made up of two simple words. 'Deepa' means light and 'Avali' means a row. Hence 'Deepavali' means a row of lights. The festival is associated with many legends and beliefs. One of them is to commemorate the killing of Narakasura, a notorious demon, by Lord Krishna. Narakasura, because of his previous store of virtue, had been granted a boon at the moment of his death. He asked that his death might ever be, commemorated as a day of feasting. Hence Deepavali is known as 'Naraka Chaturdashi. So this Deepavali, as you shop for Diyas, ponder upon its flame's spiritual nature. It will not only beautify and brighten your home, but will remind you of the transformations that it is meant to bring wi…
